I'm grateful for all the folks I've met through this sight......I never used a non-commercial product until I consulted with folks from this group.............The Hendrix "Freak" is a homemade champion........I've caught 450 plus fish on the first one I tied and it even survived two five pound Bowfin, and I landed both........If it can hold up to that, it's special...........

JEFFERY;; I;m only glad to have been able to help out to you sir;; if any of my ties helps in any way;; ;;;;;  have a ball of fun !!
